How to Change the Logon Screen of Windows 7

How would you like to change the logon screen background in Windows 7 so as to give your Windows a customized look and feel? With a small tweak it is possible to customize the Windows 7 logon screen and set your own picture/wallpaper as the background.

The image you need to set as the background should be a .jpg file and its size should not exceed 245KB, it can be smaller.

The image resolution can be anything of your choice. However I prefer 1440 x 900 or 1024 x 768. You can use any of the photo editing software such as Photoshop to compress and set the resolution for your image. Once you’re done, save this image as backgroundDefault.jpg. (Rename it, otherwise it won’t work)

You will need to copy this image to the following location:

C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds

You will need to create that path if it does not already exist on your computer.

Now, open the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Type regedit) and navigate to the following key:
